entertainment was as follows: The figure
of a donkey was cut out and pasted upon
the wall and each guest was in turn blind
folded, placed in the centre Of the room,
turned rapidly around several times and
required to stick slip-upon which his
name was written-as near to the tail ofthe
donkey "a possible. MIR Morgan Ralcy
was the most successful The victors in
the Euchrc playing were, Miss Julia Raiey

score, emitting the last named couple, was

whole tale; che ont Of Easiac&s q II ont u
tie sllssowAers' Bag; why should the chill
dren and grandchildren Of forzner slave
owners suffer from penury and want -
long a. they have their health and the use
Of their heads and hands !" What has the
above offensive charge 10 do with the ques-
ton Of paying just debt: II yoa were
justly in debt and your creditor were to
sue You, would you plead that he was lazy
in order to get clear Of paying hims You
may find such plea in your disposition
but not in Harris Entries" OF course in
Is large q crowd as the Shareholders Of
Maryland would make, there may be some
who might he called lazy, just as there
may be and no doubt are among the nu-
merous newspaper editors, some who are
lowbred, unfeeling and slanderous. So far
as my acquaintance extends former slave
owners and their children and grandshil-
dren are doing all they can under adverse
circumstances TO get along and after all
their efforts can scarcely make both ends
meet, and many fail TO do even that.
Your charge is unnecessary, gratuitous and
evidently designed SANDER upon those
who formerly held slaves, their children
and grandchildren. You then proceed as
follows: Mr.. Harris assumes the misera-
BILE postulate which this country has de-
mons.rated at such terrible cost, 10 be i'm
polite, unhuman and unjust, namely
that any man or woman has right To be
supported by the unpaid labor of others"
Now sir, assumed no such thing, but /
khee as an established fact, from the Con-
stitution and laws of the land, that was
the owner of certain slaves and was entitled
10 the proceeds of their labor and that the
Government of the United States as de-
clared by every party that ever existed in
this country and by none more decidedly
than the Republican party, had no Consti-
tutional power to interfere with that do
nestle relation in my State. They always
declared that their course was dictated by
the desire to preserve the Union with all
rights belonging to States and citizens also
preserved. You make serious charge
against the Republican party when you
state that their purpose was to make the
demonstration you speak of. The war was
carried on against the Confederate States
and although the slaves Of citizens out of
the Union were confiscated yet it does not
appear that Congress had, in accordance
with their repeated declarations, any right
or power to interfere with the slaves in
Maryland, State in the Union, except to
take them as the Constitution allows, for
public use and with just compensation. To
every intelligent mind it must appear that
Maryland is no more responsible for the
terrible loss you speak of than Massachu-
""''s Ohio nr any other State in the Union.

Why. / ask emphatically should she suner

upon slavery is concerned il does not affect
me in the least know | was deprived of
faithful slaves and they have lost faithful
and kind master, and probably all are less
prosperous and happy now than then. You
allude To my call upon Hon. Simon Came

procuring our rights from the General Gov
eminent From the quotations | made in
nv letter from their orders, resolutions and
speeches, have concluded that they will
do now what they considered IL their duty
to do then. You are no doubt very anx-
ions that Your malignant fanaticism shall
be gra.ified by the discovery that no slave
owners were byG! when YOU asa The ques-
ton, "but how many actual slaveowneiS
in Maryland were loyal citizens during the
war? Now sir, If you put that question in
the only form in which il can be properly
and legally put and ask how many slave
owners were traitors in Maryland las a
traitor is defined in the Constitution of
the United Statesl the inquiry would
show a result distressing 10 your malice.
You finish your criticism by saying "Mr.
Harris concludes his appeal with quota
ton from Scripture in favor Of mercy and
truth. These divine qualities sound dis
cordantly beside demand based on human
slavery" 1t is unnecessary for me to refer
20 the Scripture to show how little discord
there is between its laws and teachings and
the institution of slavery. do not call to
mind a single instance in the Bible in which
1t is condemned as inconsistent with the
laws OF God or with the most perfect Chris
tan virtue. But l am therein taught to be-
lieve that if a good Christian master Orns a
good CAFiSsiaR Stare, God leiU surely bless the
relation 70 the advantage 81 both. The sin
lies in the disregard of their relative duties
The mercy and truth which CRATES on your
fananticsm is well illustrated by 81. Paurs
conduct in the case of Philemon and Ones
linus. He felt IL to be his duty TO his master 10
teacE Onesimus truth and convert him and
then send back the fugitive slave TO his mas
ter, asking in his own name mercy and for
givenesS for the slave. No one can doubt
that Philemon and Ohesimus lived happi-
~ together as master and slave. The spirit
Of God has wonderful effect upon all tho
relations of life In my communication,
published in the BEACON, / say This
question, together with its incidents, has
ceased 10 be considered party question,
but one ofjastSce, and in many caSss of naer-
cy also" Although reflection will readily
bring to anei0Hded minds instances of the
latter kind, and from what you say, you
may think am in thss crowd, vet you are
mistaken. am arrAyed exclusively I'M
der the head Of justice. and most respect

Others similarly effected according 70 the

conclusions. In the first place, must say
am perfectly delighted with is climate.
81 much 50. that Il was able. would spend
the Winters, If any remain 10 me, in this
country. The lands are rich and capable
Of producing nearly all the staple crops q
the country. Indeed, Imay say. there i no
country biest with more advaatages than
Alabama, and no better place for the tiller
Of the soil il they would change their tao
tics in farming q little. Their calculations
are all made on the one crop-cotton-and
ii that fails. they fail all over, which is some
times the case. Their smoke-housc and
cs1rn-crib are in the West, with but few
exceptions, while am sure IL all might be
the products Of their own soil Business l.
done on the advance principal, which
makes cash scarce and prices high to the
moderate buyer. all of which, think, i the
result Of the one crop system Labor Is as
well rewarded as in any place, and the
common laborer seems TO be perfectly con-
tented with his position, knowing that
when he sows that also viii he reap. Some
of the negroes are coming up in the world
from economy and industry. They have
acquired comfortable homes, good stock,
and would be an example 10 many of their
race in the North They have good schools
and the State il trying to do all it can 10
advance their interest My own observa-
ton teaches me this, and the fact Is corrob-
GRATED to me by the State Senator from VIII
cox county-also from some of the best ne
groes here, who declare they are better off
now than when they had carpet-bag rule.
There are three negroes 10 one white per
son in the county and nearly the same pro-
portion in the State, and yet Alabama goes
Democratic every time. / feel sure that
this fact has come TO pass from the want of
good government which the blacks as wellas
the whites were all suffering alike, and have
now thrown their political prejudices to the
wall and have gone 10 work for home in
stead for politicians, who really make them
believe that the war is not over or that old
master is not as loyal as he should be, and
there is yet q spirit behind the curtain of
the law that would destroy soul and body
If il had the chance. But thanks to Him
who rules all things, this kind of talk is at
end here, and would to God il was so in
old ST. Mary's, and as here the people would
seek the man for Office rather than it is done
now. But must bring my letter TO close,
feeling that have already imposed on your
time and space, and will have to leave much
uIsaid that might be, except that to my de-
light found the BEACON regular visitor

pleasure 10 its weekly arrival during NY
